Recalling the scenes that had just happened, Ning Ning was filled with emotion.

Just now, when she saw the ancient architecture of Furong Garden from the outside, she could imagine the prosperity inside. However, when she actually walked in, she found that her imagination was just the tip of the iceberg. What she saw in reality was far more exquisite than she had imagined.

Hibiscus Garden was built on the bank of Tsukisa River in Kyoto. The owner of the garden ingeniously diverted the river water to Hibiscus Garden. As soon as you enter the yard, you can see the water-related theme. On the left is a spectacular waterfall built of Taihu stones, and on the right is a picnic camp where you can drink wine and talk about flowers and the moon.

In the middle are three arch bridges, under which are swaying black-sailed boats with dancers performing graceful dance moves.

The boat swayed with the waves, appearing by the waterfall, at the Nine-bend Flowing Wine Cup, or looming under the three arch bridges. Occasionally, a dancer would offer a glass of wine to the guests on the bridge, throw a flower, and smile sweetly with a radiant look.

This is just the first scene of Furong Garden, but it is enough to make guests linger and forget where to go. The further you go in, the more prosperous it becomes.

Ning Ning, Shang Wenqi followed the shopkeeper through the arch bridge and came to the first pavilion. On the left side of the pavilion were musicians and on the right side were dancers. They were performing the famous Chu dance - Long Sleeve Dance. Their bodies were like swimming dragons and their sleeves were as graceful as Su Yu.

If you want to go inside, you have to pass between the musicians and the dancers. On the left is the majestic music, and on the right is the long sleeves of the dancers. People are first deafened by the music, and then captivated by the long sleeves swept to the corners of the clothes. They can immediately immerse themselves in the dance and forget when to return.

Ning Ning was already amazed just by seeing this. She thought about her previous plan to open a dance studio. With Furong Garden as a comparison, she realized that if she really opened a dance studio in the capital, it would probably go bankrupt in the second month.

When it comes to romance, the ancients were indeed better at it.

Look at this Furong Garden, it’s like the emperor’s villa.

Even the emperor's villa did not dare to be so arrogant. It is not an exaggeration to call this place a pool of wine and a forest of meat.

While the shopkeeper was getting the menu, Ning Ning couldn't help but mutter to Shang Wenqi, "By the way... who is the boss of Furong Garden? It's amazing that he built this place like this."

Shang Wenqi glanced at her indifferently and said nothing.

Looking at the silent Shang Wenqi, Ning Ning covered her mouth with a look of surprise: "Could it be... it's you?"

"What sweet dreams are you having?" Shang Wenqi looked down on her and denied it decisively.

Ning Ning felt quite regretful, but on second thought it made sense.

"That's right. If you have this kind of brain, why would you be a guard? If there is no other way, who would want to live on the edge of a knife like this, right?"

"..."Shang Wenqi.

Seeing his face getting gloomy, Ning Ning quickly put on a smile and said, "I'm just kidding. You became a guard because you are excellent, not because you are stupid."

"..."Shang Wenqi was not comforted at all, and wanted to hit someone even more.

The interaction between the two was seen by the shopkeeper who came back with the menu. In fact, the shopkeeper had been quietly observing Ning Ning along the way, trying to find some clues about her identity from her face or accessories.

The beauty beside Lord Shang, we have to find out who she belongs to.

However, Ning Ning's face looked unfamiliar, and there were no clues on her body, so it was unknown where Shang Wenqi found her.

The shopkeeper couldn't find any clues and had to give up regretfully and brought up the menu.

"We have thirteen performances tonight. The first three are to warm up the audience. There are performances from the Ruyi class and the Hongzhang class. Oh, and there is also a new Western Region Dance Troupe. They will also perform to warm up the audience.

The next ten scenes are all performances by the dancers from Hibiscus Garden, including Mingjun, Bodhisattva, Green Waist, Tuozhi, Baiwu, Jianwu, Taege and so on. As long as Lord Shang is satisfied, we can dance for you until dawn.

As for the drinks, I have these, Lord Shang can take a look."

Ning Ning came over curiously and took a look at the menu, only to see that all the dishes here were set meals. There were thirteen different sets of meals, ranging from preserved fruits, drinks to staple foods, all of which were very different.

Shang Wenqi had no requirements for these. He pushed the menu in front of Ning Ning, his intention was obvious.

Ning Ning took the menu with a sweet smile and replied softly, "Then I will boldly choose for you."

While Ning Ning was choosing, the shopkeeper also took the opportunity to chat with her.

"Lord Shang really dotes on the girl. She is full of elegance in every move she makes. She must be a dancer, right? I wonder what kind of dance she is good at?"

"My expertise is only in the common green waist and curved branches, nothing special." Ning Ning smiled coquettishly at the shopkeeper.

"Hey, young lady, don't underestimate yourself. How could our Lord Shang respect an ordinary person? You must be too modest. By the way, I am Qing Shao, the shopkeeper of Furong Garden. I wonder if I have the honor to know your name?"

"What's the use of knowing my name?" Ning Ning kept it a secret.

The shopkeeper smiled calmly: "Of course, I will remember the young lady as a distinguished guest of our Furong Garden, so as to avoid neglecting her next time she comes."

"Yes, it is my honor. I have to say it. My last name is Chu, which means Chuchu."

"It turns out to be Miss Chuchu. Welcome, welcome. I will definitely ask Lord Shang to come to our Furong Garden more often in the future."

"Yeah, okay." Ning Ning still smiled brightly.

As the two were chatting, the lights on the stage in front of them lit up.

Speaking of which, this place looks like a concert venue. The audience seats are divided into multiple areas such as ABC..., and each area is separated by gauze and bead curtains, with a circular stage in the middle.

Looking around other areas, there may be people already there, or people haven't arrived yet, but it doesn't matter. This is a 360-degree stage with no blind spots. There is no real best viewing area. Being able to get in here is already the best, and there are a total of 13 performances here, so it doesn't matter whether the guests come early or late.

At this time, just as the shopkeeper said, the first performance has begun, and the lively sound of stringed instruments and drums can be heard, which is a typical feature of the Western Regions.

Ning Ning subconsciously looked up and saw someone she knew.

It was the Western Region Dance Troupe that had been traveling with them all the way!

At this time, the dancers had already started their performance. Although there were not many people in the venue, they attracted everyone as soon as they appeared.

Ning Ning and Shang Wenqi's gazes caught the attention of the shopkeeper, and he introduced them to the two with a smile.

"This is the latest Western Region Dance Troupe to arrive in Kyoto. They perform the latest Western Region dance style. Although they are both Qu Tuozhi, you should be able to tell that this Qu Tuozhi is different from ours.

Although it was the first dance to warm up the audience, many people cheered and gave tips.”

"It's really good." Ning Ning smiled and hugged Shang Wenqi's arm: "Master, let's reward them too, okay?"

Because the shopkeeper was here, Shang Wenqi could only take out a gold ingot from his pocket.

The shopkeeper quickly took over: "Thank you, Mr. Shang, thank you, Miss Chuchu, I would like to thank you two on behalf of the dance troupe."

"There's nothing for you to do here, so go down." Shang Wenqi finally spoke.

"Hey, hey."
